I think that the 2/3 rules would work...if we don't count the 'undecided / blank' votes, just the for or against votes.

He keeps me amused, mainly by pointing out my many failures. But I don't think I've actually seen mullog insult anyone. Ever. So I guess you're safe. :)

I'm as friendly as a sheep. And I play like one too... And I only insult myself...

You have lots of ...err... friendly :wink: sheep in Norway Mullog? :lol:

And there was I thinking it was just the Welsh and the Australians that played with sheep :lol:

Norwegians play with anyone who are willing! You British people should know that. We used to play with you too! 8)

Watch out, Vortan. If Aussie Gaz hears you he'll, well he won't be happy. I hear it's the Kiwis who play with sheep, at least that's what the Aussies say...

I suppose a joke about Goatherder here would simply get me in trouble, eh?

I dont recall the forum being this active for a long time.

I wont steal the thread here but I am simply loving the fact that I got some juices flowing here Vortan. Sorry if I offended you personally but please keep in mind that this is a gamingcommunity. Anything goes. As some pointed out I tend to make fun of everything (including myself) and I believe that I am an acquired taste so to speak so hang in there and eventually youll too see the humor. In the meantime Ill do my best to get on your nerves. :wink:

Oh and I am originally Norwegian so Mullog might be a problem.

Ok. Sorry. I'll let you all get back to the WSC debate and that discussion you have about....goats??

You used to be half norwegian, so this is a definite improvement!

The discussion was about sheep, not goats. Duh!

I've spoken with Mullog separately (we're old mates ever since we happened to join in the same month), but is this Mull's first re-appearance on the public forums?

In which case, any new people should know that WOK owes Mullog a lot. Mull did the main programming that essentially changed WOK from play-by-email-look-at-the-site to play-online. Yep, before Mull, you used to have to send your orders to the GM to input for you. And it took the GM ages. A then-student Kor was effectively Mull's apprentice at the time, before Kor assumed his current godlike level (see kor's post above about handing the keys back).

I just thought new people should know who Mull is. So we all let him win a game occasionally, OK? :)

Hey, Duke! The new players are taking you seriously! That's pretty funny! :P

Where are those stories that Duke wrote? Show them to Vortan and the other new players. That will give them an idea of what Duke is all about.

On a related note ... is there really a thought about bringing back the WSC? Don't you need more than about 6 people playing WOK for it to make sense? (just slightly joking with that last sentence)

HEY! We have eight, thank you very much!!!

And are you EVER going to check your private messages? (It's so hard to find good help these days!) Like a job and a family and what not is a good excuse! BAH! :P

Or you can let me team up with Han in every game. Then I'll win anyway. :)

Anyway. The ones who really deserve praise are Korexus, and Han and Trewqh and the others that kept developing the game while nobody else were around! Maybe we should chose them as WOK Supreme Chancellors?
